Transience has come to the undying lands of Amelbaran. A plague of blood cripples the once-immutable kingdom of Kelcarosa, replacing beauty with decay. The advent of this calamity, like nothing the immortal kingdom has ever known before, distorts even the incontrovertible Nobles of the Scarlet Court, stealing away the righteous instincts of these great custodians, warping their sensibilities and making shambling monsters, debauched and dangerous, of those who had once been hailed as heroes. Only the New King seems to remember the grandeur that once was theirs, and in reverence to all that was, he seeks to undo all that is. This is the King's requiem; the legend of the end of that which had been undying, the corruption of that which had been consecrated, the fall of that which had stood most high.
